You don't see this type of passion with other computer products. Wonderful!

In fact I got the idea from seeing photos of others doing the same thing. Thats what prompted me to do it :)<br /><br />@Martin, Yeah, I got some more photos, nothing special though. Mostly just of the packaging and contents. The one I posted in the article is the only one that has me in it.<br /><br />I don't have a flickr account, but when I get some time I'll get one and post some pics. @Galley, Hahaha, thats one of the first things that I did as well.

You need to hold down the CTRL key while clicking and that will achieve the desired result. <br /><br />Also, I believe that specific "two-finger" setting is off by default. So for new users you may first have to fuddle with the Keyboard and Mouse preference pane in the System Preferences application. A shortcut to that application can be found in the  menu in the top left corner of the screen. It should be the fourth menu item from the top.<br /><br />Regardless, any USB multi-button mouse will function instantly without any setup - thus giving you contextual menus as well. <br /><br />Nick, I very much appreciate your blog. I like to show potential switchers how other "newbies" are handling the great switch. Bravo on your endeavor!

I don't know why I got the two confused, must have been the Windows detox I'm going through :)<br /><br />Your also correct about the 'two fingered' right click. I did enable it and its off by default. Thanks for the correction Danny. I don’t know why I got the two confused, must have been the Windows detox I’m going through :)
